You have certainly not helped yourself - out of contract rates can be 50% more than contract ones. (I was out of contract in January paying over 50p - that went down when I managed to get a contract. Smart meters would also have helped .
Had you been in contract , getting accurate bills you would have been able to more informed business decisions

All sorted, thanks to everyone who commented. Agreed a new contract for 3 years and agreed to back date by 6 months, I am grateful for that because it's completely my fault, also the balance will be spread over 24 months on a pay plan. Cheers all6
